Much more to come from hero Michelle

Agyemang has scored three times in her first four appearances for the defending champions, who were initially stunned in their 2-1 last-four comeback victory over Italy when Barbara Bonansea opened the scoring for the underdogs 33 minutes into the Geneva semifinal.

But just as she did in their quarterfinal against Sweden, the youngest Lioness in Switzerland came off the bench and levelled late in the second-half. clipping the crossbar in extra-time before fellow replacement Chloe Kelly emphatically buried the rebound from her own saved penalty late in the second period.

“She has something special,” Wiegman said of Agyemang, who levelled with less than two minutes remaining in second-half stoppage time.
